    Use of bmi160.h API with PIC Microcnotroller

    Use of bmi160.h API with PIC Microcnotroller

    Hello, i'm new of this forum, i try to use the API of "bmx160.h" files with an 8-bit microcntroller in C- language but there is a declaretion of an array inside a function that needed dinamic allocation of memory.

    In the file attached the array is named "uint8_t temp_buf[temp_len];" and the dimension of array "temp_len" is a parameter passed to the function.
    The compiler give me this error: "BMX160_drivers/bmi160.c:1369:21: error: variable length arrays are not supported" .

    Does anyone know what needs to be done to make the compiler allocate memory?

    Thank you!

    Good Mornig, with the PIC32 Microchip microcontroller the compiler acept the original declaration of vector "uint8_t temp_buf[temp_len];"

    this should work as long as you know that in your app you are not reading more than 142 bytes of data
